Hello,  
Is there any API to get in-meeting chats messages?  
for a small project, I’m trying to connect the chat and do something on my computer.  
for example - every time someone writes on chat ‘play’ to play a video, and etc…  
is there a way to do it?  
Thank you!

Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂

Checkout this related thread that may have the answer you are looking for:

I know the following rule: If you save the chat locally to your computer, it will save any chats that you can see-- those sent directly to you and those sent to everyone in the meeting or webinar. If you save the chat to the cloud, it will only save chats that were sent to everyone and messages sent while you were cloud recording.&nbsp; All the message is to everyone, but only 24% is saved on the cloud.

If this thread did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly.

Thanks,
